Just like “Gangnam Style,” PSY raps and sings in
Korean, which means some of the lyrics are lost on US fans.
Apart from the English-language chorus — a remix of
Will.i.am’s song “I Got It From My
Mama" — there are lots of moments where fans might be
wondering what PSY is saying.

Luckily, the
blogger Sleepless Aliana transcribed all of the lyrics in
Korean and I had my friend
Linda Lee, who also teaches the language in New York City,
help me translate for US audiences the complete song lyrics. She
was able to translate the entire thing, but we've kept the words
oppa (a term of respect used to refer to an older male
relative or friend) and unni (an older female
relative or friend) intact because they don't have literal
English translations.

Watch
the video below, and follow along with the English
translation afterward.
